How am I supposed to vote brigade that?

Go call JK Rowling a dumb cunt on Twitter.

You username ping the retardation so you can downvote them here.

That's why you make your children read right wing Tolkien so they don't become full of disappointements later in life.

its also to teach them what writing is not opening fire at a keyboard and printing the results FUCK JK

Why didn't the "wizards" just cast themselves out of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

> a-at least the books were good though

"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

where did you get this from?

it's as old as time itself.

this honestly sounds like DLP (Darklordpotter.net) got together and turned their opinion into a post then someone edited it and made it less disappointed in the series and angry at it.

It's spelled "color" you filthy fucking crumpet stuffer.

Potato potahto, you're still a queen-fucker

Ya posh sugar peddler. Nobody gives a toss about you being a fancy todger.

Canadia is still a British colony

Fuck off m8, we invented the language, not our fault Amerifats are too lazy to spell properly.

She can't cover herself in shoe polish to escape the mayocide.

I looked at u/rascal_red's user history, the guy is still sperging out in r/fantasy daily.

Next: everyone is was black in Harry Potter

jk rowling needs to come out tweeting something like

Let's set the record straight: Harry is Han Chinese, Hermione is black, Cho Chang's a slav, the only paleface in my books is McGonnagal. I guess Ron too, if you can count Micks as white

That's good but use slurs for all mentioned races.

naw man it's jk rowling she's a classy lady

Honestly harry looks Asian in some of the cover art.

dude's got jet-black hair and straight bangs.

i mean, he hasgreen eyes, but so does goku

I hope she does so we can have fun watching all the REEEEing and rawring.

i mean that's the idea, naturally

We wuz wizards n sheit

There is a 15% chance Hermione Granger is a woman of color, and thus she should be referred to as such 15% of the time

Or 15% or color people should refer to her as colored and the rest should consider her white.

WE

It feels too much like you genuinely hate black people. You shouldn't hate people for the color of their ski; you should hate them because they stole your bike and girlfriend.

And ginger is trans-race

If turning color characters white is whitewashing,

then what's called the opposite?

Progress.

Wtf I hate progress bars now.

A no white future is a bright future.

Good thing I won't see it.

r/fantasy is the 4th worst board on reddit.

I don't know why they couldn't just say it was a black woman playing a white character because theatre? JK had to turn it into some massive ego stroking drama.

Blame the people who revere children's fantasy novel as a religious canon. These people need every detail explained and justified.

Wait a second. JK helped in casting of the original movie, so that means this bitch whitewashed her own character? LE GASP.
